Clio 182 - Engine Gone 25k

I'd be confident if it reaches court they'll have to pay in full for the repair and any claims for additional costs as a result. It comes down to the fit for purpose part of trading standards regardless of warranty being expired. There is no way a manufacturer will have a leg to stand on when the car is only just out of warranty, is low milage and has been serviced in accordance to the manufacturers schedule.

I think the dealer/Renault UK are just trying to call your bluff tbh. Alot of people would just pay up or scrap the car rather than put up with potentially months and months of faffing about with solicitors and court.

I have been told very similar by an ex-Renault member of staff.

I have just contacted What Car and will come back with any formal response i recieve from them i'll keep this updated.

Yeah luckily the legal portion of this comes from directly from my sister who is a lawyer and kindly has agreed to assist me through my ongoing dispute against Renault.

And like you said Renault just hope i disappear, but i have a second car that i purchased and will keep everyone updated to how this progresses.

This is the type of thing that really gets my back up, Renault is a multi million pound company - why can they not pay out a claim like this rather than allow a lot of us to let renault slip further down our estimation.

I hope you force them to pay the whole cost and get a nice amoutn of compensation for your losses, maybe even covering that second car you purchased
